Countries must also “face the reality that we have in the eastern flank of Europe, which is this neo-imperialism of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, vis-a-vis countries such as Ukraine, but not create this false, or fake trade-off between aid and defense expenditure,” Sanchez said.
How does this “echo Russian narratives”? Or is anyone who questions unlimited spending automatically a Russian spy?


You are afraid because politicians told you to be afraid. They don’t want you to notice that you’re getting robbed at home to benefit the weapons industry.
The reality is that Russia is weaker than everyone expected and they can’t even take on Ukraine. The idea that they would simultaneously start a war with NATO is simply laughable. Even without the US, NATO already spends significantly more on defense than Russia’s full-blown war economy. On top of that, NATO has nuclear weapons.
Cutting healthcare spending will cost lives. Not your hypothetical lives, but real people who die from curable illnesses while waiting for care. Those deaths are guaranteed.


What if his neck just does that sometimes
“Just concentrate”
Wow, why didn’t I think of that?
I am a man who willingly sucks dick with passion. If you tell me that makes me “just a servant” I take personal offense to that.
You are also wrong and I feel bad for your sex life. I can assure you that plenty of “love and joy” is had.
So you confirm that you think sucking dick is weak. Why is that?
Yes, the implication is that men who suck dick are weak and disrespectable. Which is homophobic.
If your punchline relies on shock value from two men having sex, perhaps think of a better joke.
Awareness training is often a red herring to blame systemic failures on individual employees. No matter how much training you give, people are still going to click those phishing links. That’s because phishing emails are often indistinguishable from real emails and clicking links is a regular part of their job.
It is much more effective to use technical controls. Prevent phishing emails from ever landing in the inbox. Give employees the proper tools and disable footguns. Have a procedure for when an employee inevitably does get phished.


It’s not that clear cut. Buying a book doesn’t generallly give you the right to make copies and sell those.


Very on brand for AI companies. In a decade they’ll be allowed to give AI agents legal personhood and the right to vote, but only if they first euthanize an equal number of orphans.


Ultimately, Judge William Alsup ruled that this destructive scanning operation qualified as fair use—but only because Anthropic had legally purchased the books first, destroyed each print copy after scanning, and kept the digital files internally rather than distributing them. The judge compared the process to “conserv[ing] space” through format conversion and found it transformative.

Mario was just the fall guy. Clearly the real killer is still out there, continuing his works.


Maybe that was good advice 10 years ago. Nowadays it’s practically impossible to stay anonymous. Most social media make it mandatory to provide your legal name and even if you don’t, the government has many ways to still track you down, because you leave all sorts of traces. The only way out of this is by political change.
Yes, the GDPR covers almost everything you do with personal data. That is the point. As long as you’re being respectful to data subjects the GDPR is surprisingly mild.
You’re the one claiming the government is regulating tech too much, below an article about Apple making that same claim. And when pressed about specifics, you brand the entire thing as off-topic.
It is very much on topic, you just don’t want to provide an argument.
